School Overview

Kensington Health Sciences sits in one of Philadelphia's most rapidly changing neighborhoods, where longtime residents and newcomers are navigating a city in real transition. The school draws students interested in health and science careers, but families should know that academic outcomes — particularly in math and science — currently rank in the bottom tier statewide, and English scores, while stronger, still have significant room to grow. Families who are drawn to a career-themed school with a focused mission may find appeal here, but it's worth visiting to get a feel for the school culture and understanding what supports are in place for students who need extra academic help.
